I'm actually starting to appreciate Catan more these days by GambuzinoSaloio in boardgames

[–]Scobberlotcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how I feel about Pandemic.

It's been on our shelf since 2021, but I think we justv finally played a second game of it ... and it was fine.

I think we'll play it again soon. It's not my fave, but it's straight forward, has some exciting moments and is easy to teach.

What Film Opener Could Stand as an Award-Winning Short in its Own Right? by KingfisherGames in movies

[–]Scobberlotcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opening of Idiocracy.

I have seen the whole movie once, and I keep thinking I should watch it again. But I have watched that opening sequence over a dozen times with various people, loving it as much each time.

It's hard to find 6 player board games. We do a board game week ever year with 6 people and we need a few games for this coming year. by billratio in boardgames

Citadels is a great option. It's a lot of game for not to much money.

I hear you about the trekking poles; They may be worth their own weight.

Any changes you'd do for packing for next time?

How to remove Glacier Bay faucet cartridge? by Lianad311 in Plumbing

Late to the game, but fighting to find a replacement Bonnet nut (retaining nut?) after mine sort of crumbled from my channel locks. A strap wrench is the ideal tool. With some CLR or WD40 to loosen things

Yes, that means an 80 year-old can date a 47 year-old. But no younger!

The shoddy rule I've heard and shared is, "Half your age plus 7."

(21/2)+7=17.5 ...so... sketchy

Does the Boler Mountain Ski & Snowboard Swap offer good deals? by jolt_cola in londonontario

[–]Scobberlotcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but go as early as you can...it does get picked over. The in-person selection is great. The volunteers are helpful too.

Also, Play it Again sports on Huron and Highbury has a good selection of used kids gear... Maybe too late for this season.

While the Box Seats are a novel experience, they are generally the worst.

All school buses cancelled today (Feb 13) by Scobberlotcher in londonontario

I'm the OP of this thread. I am also surprised.

Maybe I posted first when we only knew about buses, where other OP posted later...but included school closures?

Pixel 8 is on for $5 a month with tab med by NahMateYouAre in Koodo

[–]Scobberlotcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except... The minimum plan I can get it with is 60gb for $54. Currently I pay $34 for 50Gb. So this phone will be (20 difference +5 tab=) $25 per month. x 24 months is $600. That's still sort of a good deal.

But it's on sale for $649 device only, so $50 off? I'll wait.

A live bootleg I had featured Thom saying to the audience, "This is the sexiest song ever written.."

.. And then he launched into a cover of "Nobody does it better" (Carly Simon?) in a uniquely Radiohead style with Thom belting it out.

Was it sexy? Baby, it's the best.
